TRADITIONAL Blue bike too

[Pondo]

That really cleaned up nicely!

It is blue!

WOW! Most excellent use of the hot tub time machine!

I solved the bent fork issue by remembering I had this Westfield fork in the pile, it’s off a pre-war bike so it’s era correct. The blue is a bit off but it’s close enough for me

Looks like a great match to me!

That fork definitely has 'the blues'! Fits the build well.

I’ve been working late and slacking on page 2! Tonight I started digging through the box of parts that came with the bike to see what I can use

this rack looks bent to me, the blue is a bit off and the front mount has been hacked, it’s going into the future use pile

this truss rod mount was on the bike and these rods were in the box, they’ve got a couple extra bends but I can work with that

this set of truss rods was in there too, one or the other will find its way onto this bike

looks like most of a kickstand

niw to dig into this ceramic bowl of stuff

a seat post that’s too short and some assorted hardware, most of a new departure hub aside from a broken transfer spring, and best of all the correct chain tensioner bolts!

Looking good!

*I didn't want to hijack your build but did want to share my solution to addressing the bent truss rods so I posted it in the tips-n-trix thread HERE.

Thank you, I just read through it, seems like a great solution

Nice cleanup on the frame. Looking forward to see where this one goes.

Looks like a great mix of goodies for current or future use.
